In two separate tragedies, maritime authorities retrived the body of a two-year-old who had been crushed to death and three adults who had also “probably” been crushed in overcrowded boats trying to cross the Channel, French officials said on Saturday. French and British politicians called to “intensify the fight” against people smugglers.
